Hi,
I'm about to finish my LLB and qualify as a lawyer in continental Europe. In the future I would like to live in the UK, but I just don't know what it takes to find a job there.... as I've seen in this board, UK LLM's are basically a marketing tool to use back home, and won't secure me a job in the UK at all. My question is, what about being a foreign lawyer in the UK, and work for, say, foreign firms branch offices in London? What would be the path to get there?
Thanks!
